I lied.. there’s no secret!

I ALWAYS get asked what brand of products I use. People are usually looking for a simple one-brand solution for all their makeup needs. While some makeup artists will use just one brand (and there is nothing wrong with this), most will use a variety of brands and recommend a different brand for each product – sorry! At my recent beauty shoot, I decided to throw all the products I’d used in front of the camera to give you some insight into what I like to use for a simple, clean beauty look such as this.
